Ash:Its in my p.o.v and then in Sanzo's... Enjoy!!

I sat silently near the bed Amber was asleep in, the others went to go shopping... the rain had stopped a bit. Sanzo went out to go smoke the last bit of cigarettes he had. Kim was right, we would get a little cold. I sat on the floor indian style with a blanket tightly wrapped around me and the beanie hat now on my head. I sneezed silently, the sneeze sounded like a squeak... I sniffled a bit and yawned, Amber was still asleep I wonder how long she would be out. The Amber I knew was random and happy most of the time, she would say random things at random times to make people laugh when they were sad or felt bad... I could remember everything now, and I almost slapped myself for forgetting something so important... One day I was out getting something for mom... and by getting it I had to steal it... the people I stole it from wasn't too happy and I ended up getting cut with a knife on my arm, I still had that scar to this day but it wasn't noticable.. I had went to rest in the park and sat on the swings... I had thought the park was empty but then I heard the swing next to me sway, Amber was sitting there smiling at me and cleaning my cut on my arm a bit... we instantly became friends... I had a lot of chores to do so when I had time off to myself I went to the park where Amber was usually there, she introduced me to a new ice-cream flavor once it was good. She had a lot of family members and I even met them once... three brothers and two parents... She was a live life one day at a time kinda person and she even told me one day she was going to move out of her parent's house and live on her own, when I asked her she said these words... I still remember those words even today 'I just don't want to live there anymore Ash, I don't need any help not at all I'm fine on my own and that's that' I was fine with that and I knew I wasn't ready to leave my mother any time soon, she needed me... and she probably still does... I heard a sneeze come from Amber and I was snapped out of my thoughts... I looked at Amber and she opened her bright blue eyes slightly, she then quickly sat up and looked around the room. She didn't notice me there she was looking at the room, her eyes then snapped back and she looked at me. Her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped a bit, I gave her a cheesy grin and waved a bit. She then leaped off the bed and gave me a bone crushing huh, 'Wow.. glad to see me'?!

"Oh my god, Ash"! She released me from the hug and smiled brightly, Amber was the one to always have a smile on her face no matter what.

"Hey Ambs" I said with a smile, "Now ya know where I've been". Amber looked at me.

"Your mom and grandma came to my house like ten times, the police have been looking for you but its like you vanished in thin air and stuff"! said Amber while waving her arms. "They keep saying I may be a suspect" she pouted a bit.

"Well... you know the manga I read... and yeah I got transported here".

She nodded, "Yeah! That lady was in my house and told me all of it and before I could speak she went and did something then I passed out"! She sneezed a bit and looked around the room again before looking back at me. "Oh and Ash"?

"Yeah"?

"Next time I see that Kanzeon Bosastu person... I'm going to get her a shirt that says 'Foxy grandma'"! said Amber with happiness... My snicker turned into a full blown laugh and I was holding my sides. 'She does need a better shirt' Yep it was Amber all right, I stood up and walked to my bag and pulled out a mirror then handed it to her. She gave me a confused face and then looked into the mirror, she jumped back and dropped the mirror.

"Cheese and crackers I am older"! she shouted out while feeling her face. Then she looked at me, "Hey your older too but I'm older than you still"! she smiled.

I nodded, "Yep... so now your offically here in Shangri-la and part of our group... We have to other girls with us Kimiko and Lynto... they don't exactly know we aren't around here so I just say I'm from shangri-la"

"I'll do that too". I nodded and smiled.

"So the saiyuki boys are with us too... and we fight yokai so that's probably why you have that katana" I pointed to the weapon that was leaning against the wall. She nodded. I heard the door open and I saw Sanzo standing in the doorway with a cigarette pack in his hand. He looked at me then Amber before walking out the door again.

"I'm guessing he doesn't like me too much.." said Amber a bit saddness in her voice. I smiled softly and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't wory he's like that to everyone" I stated. "He's the same but San San can be nice... sometimes".

Amber nodded and ran her fingers through her hair a bit, "Hmm..." she laughed a bit. "Would if ya called him San San-chan"?! I bit my lip and busted out laughing, woa another way to annoy Sanzo..

I was leaning against the wall outside and looking up at the sky, a cigarette held in my hand and the pack of ciggarettes in the other. So that girl was up I guess... Isn't it a bit strange for that girl to be found in a random place passed out like Ashurri, its connected somehow I know it... I didn't trust Ashurri that much when I met her and I don't trust this girl either... something about it is odd. The rain was starting to stop now and the others weren't back, I sighed. 'Another one joining us, its like all of it is planned... its annoying the heck out of me' Now with that girl and Ashurri both having colds we would have to stay a extra day, dang it we didn't have time for all of this! Our job was to stop the minus wave not pick people up along the way like a stupid camping trip! This very is a pain in my ass... I took out my lighter and put the cigarette in my mouth, I started to click the lighter trying to light the cigarette... No light would come for it, I growled in annoyance and covered the lighter with my other hand to block the wind and see if that would help. When I finally got it lit I sighed and closed my eyes, standing silently. 'What was that girl's name again, Am-' I felt the cigarette being plucked out of my mouth, I opened my eyes slightly and then looked down. I saw a brown boot with white fur stepping on the cigarette I had and smushing it into the ground until it went out. I silently looked up and saw that girl standing next to me and smiling, her hands behind her back. 'What the hell I wa-' She slowly turned her head and looked at me, her bright blue eyes sparkled with a happy gleam. A bright smile was on her face, what the heck was she so happy about... I turned my head away from her gaze and sighed.

"You really shouldn't smoke you know, its bad for you" she said, leaning a bit toward me trying to see my face. I turned my back from her and opened my pack of cigarettes, empty...

"I know that... and its really none of your business" I stated sourly... I heard her laugh a bit but other than that she got quiet, I looked at her from the corner of my eye. She was rocking back and fourth on her feet and staring out into the distance.

"Ash told me you don't like the rain Sanzo" she said with a smile.

"Yeah, so.."

I could hear movement from next to me and I turned to look at her, she was untying the strings that kept her right boot from falling off her foot. What is she doing? She then brought her leg off and flung her foot forward, the boot flew off her foot leaving her right foot with out a boot and only with the sock on. I watched as the boot fell out of the sky and then hit the ground, landing sole down. I rose a eyebrow and looked at her, she smiled and looked at me then the shoe.

"If it lands sole down... then... it means sun tomorrow..." she scratched her head and laughed a bit. "Maybe I think I forgot what it means but if it means that then that's good for you Sanzo-san"! She then hopped over to her boot on her left foot, she picked up the boot and slipped the boot back on then tied it back up again. She turned to me and smiled.

"Hmph, if you say so" I said while dropping the cigarette pack and crushing with my foot. "And I do say so" she replied with a happy tone... I leaned against the wall and stared out watching as people walked by... she was awfully quiet now... too quiet... I turned my head to look at her, she was gone... I could hear her laughing and running through the inn... 'Okay... bye'...
